    Ouch. Just the thought of having something stuck in my head for 55 years gives me a headache.

    Interesting...I witnessed a similar case first-hand.

    Back around 1990 I was on a call for an "injured child from a sledding accident". When we arrived on the scene we found a boy around 13 years old who had a length of stretchy rubber hose - small, like windsheild washer hose- protruding from his eye. Really wierd. We very carefully did all the right stuff, cut the hose off a few inches from his eye, stabilized it, did full spinal immobilization and took him to a specialty pediatric trauma center.

    He had been pulling the sled when it fetched up on a curb. The kid kept pulling when suddenly the sled came free, and his arm being suddenly released smacked him in the eye and the hose penetrated his orbit.

    When we got the report back from the hospital, we found out that the child had inserted a piece of steel rod iniside the hose as a "handle", and this steel rod is what carried the hose into his eye socket. When he got to the hospital, he was able to see light in the injured eye. The rod had penetrated below his eyeball through the floor of his orbit, and came to rest a mere 3mm from his brain stem. I wish I had a copy of the xray.

    A very famous brain surgeon removed the rod, the child survived and suffered no permanent injury. Later on they had to patch the hole in his orbit b/c he was leaking cerebro-spinal fluid into his sinus. Amazing case. I think it made some medical journal at the time.

    Strange shit happens.....

    if part of the pencil was in her brain, i'm surprised she didn't have any behavioral changes, a la phineas gage.

    She (Margaret Wegner) may have been missing the point...
